Photos

[David1985]

Having had various pcs Over the years. Been trying to sort out photos that we have taken. Got most on a hard drive or various cds is there any software that could pull them all together in one place and chuck out duplicates and arrange them in date order or something. Will take a month of Sunday’s otherwise.

If you have an Apple computer you could copy them into the Photos app on that, which does all of what you want. However, the date depends very much on whether the exif data remains intact on your images. If, for instance, some are scans of physical photos or negatives they will acquire the date of transfer not the date taken, fairly obviously. In that case some photos will need dates added manually after copying. While there you could create albums and/or tags or titles for images or groups/albums.
There are other apps to sort duplicates, but the few I have are left where they are unless I come across them specifically and then they are deleted. Hard drive space is very cheap these days and in my case all my photos are not stored internally on the computer but outside on an external hard drive and backed up to yet another plus the cloud.

Doesn't Microsoft Photos allow for a similar cataloguing and so on?
